Wright City has extended its real estate listing with Tom Shaw Realtors to sell the former Big Boy’s property.Aldermen authorized extending the agreement by six months at their last meeting Jan. 28. The listing is set to expire July 30. The listing agent is Randy Lewis, a Warren County resident.The 2.46-acre property, located at 13200 Veterans Memorial Parkway and the site of the former Big Boys’ restaurant, has been listed for sale since July.Lewis told the board he believes the property is attractive for a commercial developer.“People are calling about it, but are wanting to lease it out,” he said. “It is hard to move commercial property in Warren County. Even when you go to western St. Charles County, it’s not moving.“It’s a prime piece of ground,” he added. “I’m surprised an investor has not jumped on it yet. You have over 40,000 cars going by that property every day, every day.”Wright City paid $170,000 for the property in January 2011. The transaction followed years of frustration from officials and residents due to the deterioration of the former Big Boy’s restaurant building.The restaurant closed in 2005 and had been vacant. Once the city assumed ownership, it razed the structure and cleaned up the property.Other news• Aldermen approved changes to the city code to allow a truck repair business to open in the industrial zoning district.
